I once had too much gunpowder tea one afternoon. Driving my car
afterwards one headlight caught fire. First I thought it is euphoria or
halluzination, but then the flames looked real enough for me to get out
and extinguish the fire. I would stay clear of euphoria.

The taste in Chai is Indian spices. The most active is the hot spice which
is red or green pepper. That causes the buzz. The rest of the spices are
essentially curry without the turmeric. These spices are wonderful for
stimulating appetite which is why you always want more Chai. The Indian
stores sell a premix Chai tea masala. In the discount stores you'll see a
closeout on bottled Chai which isn't that bad.
